Team
The idea to create a gathering for SPT practitioners was born in August 2017. From the first thought and impulse it took just a few days to form a curious, dedicated and courageous team full of love about Social Presencing Theater.

Katherina Longariva
Italy
I am a lake.
She is purposeful, courageous, bubbly, energetic in thinking and doing, powerful and empathetic. She brings things straight to the point. Katherina likes to travel without a goal and has longing for mountain peaks and tropical underwater worlds.

RITA VENTURINI
Portugal
Shepherd at Quinta Ten Chi
I am not much of anything. I am the moment that ends, the one that is already started and the one that maybe should have not been there at all. At times I
notice being the moment of sorrow. Other times I am the sensation in the front of the belly, and again the laughter on the face of the grandmother. I remember being the power of the ocean wave crashing against a rock. Witnessing all of these moments I have been getting closer to being nothing, and all. That started in Italy many years ago and has been continuing around
the world, from California to Portugal following the routes of the old discoverers, just all backward.
​
I trained as a scientist and as a mover/improviser, and am now shepherding the emergence of a center for Embodied Wisdom at Quinta Ten Chi in Sintra, as well as being a facilitator of embodied experiences in Lisbon.

JOHANNA GALL
Austria
I am the nature and humanity loving dancer and the curiously playfull experimentalist.
Johanna is working with adults in the field of social care and mental health support since 2002. Since 2011 she is responsible for a placement of social care support and is leading a team of social care workers, helpers and volunteers to enable and empower adults with disabilities and their social fields.
​
She truly believes and experiences more and more so, that when open minds, open hearts and open will are finding each other, wonderful things are happening.

PETRA BORGMANN-DURRIE
Germany
Facilitator, Coach and Practitioner "Everything is Connected"
The ability to shift from thinking - a linear system - to feeling - a holistic system/360 degree view - are complex processes in our brain and body. I explore and study these processes to become aware of our conscious and unconscious processes and behaviors. Exploring our feelings, thoughts and actions expands our ability to create the life we want to live. This allows us to create relationships and environments where we feel connected to ourselves, others, and the planet.
